With all the Adam Rippon fans out there, it might be a good time to go oover why a triple jump landed cleanly won't score as high as a quadruple jump landed poorly, or fall. #pyeongchang2018 #figureskating
It's makes total sense. Here's why: The rotational velocity of jump makes it harder with each rotation. Jump right now. Then jump and rotate once on one foot. Then twice, on foot. First, wow, you can do it. #pyeongchang2018 #figureskating
But also, it's much harder to land when you rotate twice, then on one foot. The scoring system rewards the difficulty of the move as well as how cleanly it is executed. #pyeongchang2018 #figureskating
